Lockheed Martin is seeking Project Engineer/Control Account Manager (CAM) to join the SDA Portfolio supporting the SDA Systems Engineering team. SDA CAM Duties include leading, planning, budgeting, and managing the technical/schedule/cost performance for the Systems Engineering team. The SDA CAM will sit at the intersection of engineering execution and program management helping our Chief Systems Engineers (CSEs) maintain real-time visibility into headcount, schedule, and cost performance across multiple programs. This role requires precision, clear communication, and a continuous improvement mindset. The Project Engineer will interact with a multi-disciplinary engineering team through development and production phases. The preferred candidate should have prior experience with cost, schedule, and technical management of systems with a significant budget. In addition to the primary role of a Project Engineer/CAM the candidate may be expected to provide support for other tasks to include ROM and Proposal coordination and input, which will include BOE coordination and writing. In this role you will:

• Address headcount challenges and resource constraints
• Manage control account performance and elevate concerns/issues to program management and/or other impacted stakeholders
• Identify risks and opportunities and implement approved actions
• Manage resources, analyze trends, and develop analytics to ensure credible schedules and Estimates at Complete (EACs)
• Identify and manage control accounts' schedule health and critical path
• Analyze and report variances and proactively implement corrective actions
• Ensure all EVM required documentation is complete and meets compliance requirements for responsible control accounts
• Ensure current CAM certification and training is always maintained

What Success Looks Like:

• CSEs have real-time visibility into headcount, schedule, and cost status without having to chase data
• Variance reports delivered accurately, on time, with clear root cause and corrective action narratives
